Abyrint is a management consulting firm. Abyrint is specialized in supporting governments in fragile states. These are countries that have recently emerged from conflict.
Abyrint focuses on core government systems. That includes public finance, central banking, governance, organization, process work flows and technologies. All the issues that makes a government work behind the scenes. The politics are powerless without a functioning state bureaucracy.
We started in 2013. Our idea was that rebuilding fragile states governments needed a high quality approach. Clients should get the same level of quality, service, and insights as provided by a high street strategy firms in the developed markets.
We have had much success with this approach. There is clearly a demand in the market for high quality work. We have become a trusted adviser for fragile states governments, multilateral and bilateral institutions.
Abyrint was founded in 2013 by Ivar Strand with background from PwC and the World Bank.
Abyrint is headquartered in Oslo, Norway. A cool and fast moving city with an exciting start-up scene. Our work takes us to places far away.
We recruit both recent graduates and experienced professionals. Most staff have training in business schools, economics and/or experience from management consulting or financial services firms.
